No, they don't want the spectrum. They just want the Open Architecture provision to kick in above $4.6 billion.
So what happens when this closes and we don't have the identity of the winner yet?
The betting will close, but the prediction can't be judged until the actual winners of the auction are announced. The FCC hasn't set a firm end date for the auction, so it'll keep running until only one bidder remains. You can follow the progress at:

Seems like a good enough reason to me to get out of it. I don't want all of my play prediction money tied up until the FCC finally gets done.
So after it ends one can no longer cash out?
How can this be settled now while the bidders are still anonymous?
Because BW is guessing that Google didn't win?
That's rediculous.
More reports that Google has withdrawn:
